=== Version ===

{{#smeversion: {{#var:smecontribname}} }}
=== Description ===
Collabora Online is a powerful LibreOffice-based online office that supports all major document, spreadsheet and presentation file formats, which you can integrate into your own infrastructure.

Key features are collaborative editing and excellent office file format support.


This package offers a configuration of the open source development edition https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/

A VirtualHost property is to be filled with a domain name so the daemon will be reversed proxy through your apache httpd server. Do not forget to also define this Virtualdomain to your list of domains, enable it for let's encrypt if you use it, and also define this domain to point to your server at your DNS provider.

Collabora Online requires a dedicated virtual host and it’s only accessible from HTTPS with a valid certificate.

=== Installation ===
<tabs container="">
<tab name="For SME 11">
 dnf install smeserver-extrarepositories-collaboraoffice
 dnf  install {{#var:smecontribname}} collaboraofficebasis-en-US collaboraoffice-dict-en

then you will need to configure let's say domain collabora.mydomain.com

configuration part for domain + let's encrypt and nextcloud on the same server, please just change the content of the variable $MYDOMAIN
 MYDOMAIN="collabora.mydomain.com"
 db domains set $MYDOMAIN domain Content Primary Description collabora Nameservers localhost  letsencryptSSLcert enabled TemplatePath Collabora
 signal-event domain-create $MYDOMAIN
 expand-template /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
 dehydrated -c
 signal-event smeserver-collabora-update

then all is configured in nextcloud installed on the same server
if you do want to keep self signed certificate you need to issue
 occ config:app:set disable_certificate_verification --value "yes"

Reminder configure your domain DNS to point to your server!

We assume you also already have configured correctly [[Letsencrypt]] and [[Nextcloud]] contribs BEFORE.
</tab>
<tab name="For SME 10">
 yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-collaboraoffice
 yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install {{#var:smecontribname}} collaboraofficebasis-en-US collaboraoffice-dict-en

then you will need to configure let's say domain collabora.mydomain.com

configuration part for domain + let's encrypt and nextcloud on the same server, please just change the content of the variable $MYDOMAIN
 MYDOMAIN="collabora.mydomain.com"
 config setprop coolwsd VirtualHost $MYDOMAIN
 db domains set $MYDOMAIN domain Content Primary Description collabora Nameservers localhost  letsencryptSSLcert enabled TemplatePath Collabora
 signal-event domain-create $MYDOMAIN
 expand-template /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
 dehydrated -c
 signal-event smeserver-collabora-update

then all is configured in nextcloud installed on the same server

Reminder configure your domain DNS to point to your server!

We assume you also already have configured correctly [[Letsencrypt]] and [[Nextcloud]] contribs BEFORE.
</tab>

</tabs>

You can also add to the yum install line the dictionary you need, or add one later 
<tabs container="">
<tab name="For SME 11">
  dnf install collaboraoffice-dict-fr collaboraofficebasis-fr
</tab>
<tab name="For SME 10">
  yum install collaboraoffice-dict-fr collaboraofficebasis-fr

</tab>

</tabs>

=== Tweaking ===

==== language available ====
Available languages are: ar, bg, br, ca, cs, da, de, el, es, et, fr, gd, gl, gu, he, hi, hr, hu, id, is, it, ko, lt, lv, nl, no, oc, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, sv, te, tr, uk, vi

In order to use new dictionaries, you may have to change the "allowed_languages" setting in /etc/coolwsd/coolwsd.xml . In the example below the Danish dictionary is added as an "allowed language":
 $ diff coolwsd.xml.bak coolwsd.xml
 10c10
 <       <allowed_languages default="de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru" desc="List of supported languages of Writing Aids (spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, hyphenation) on this instance. Allowing too many has negative effect on startup performance.">de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru</allowed_languages>
 ---
 >       <allowed_languages default="de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru" desc="List of supported languages of Writing Aids (spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, hyphenation) on this instance. Allowing too many has negative effect on startup performance.">da en_GB en_US</allowed_languages>

==== menu display ====


To modify look on the toolbar for Compact Biew (as opposed to Tabbed View) in nextcloud config , OR change this to compact : 

/etc/coolwsd/<mark>coolwsd.xml</mark>
    <code>182		<user_interface>
    183			<mode default="default" desc="Controls the user interface style. The 'default' means: Take the value from ui_defaults, or decide for one of compact or tabbed (default|compact|tabbed)" type="string">compact</mode>
    184			<use_integration_theme default="true" desc="Use theme from the integrator" type="bool">true</use_integration_theme>
    185		</user_interface></code>

=== Configuration ===
you can list the available configuration with the following command :
 config show coolwsd

Some of the properties are not shown, but are defaulted in a template or a script. Here a more comprehensive list with default and expected values :
